This blog follows the assembly of an all aluminium Van's RV-8A aerobatic 2 place aircraft kit. When completed, the aircraft is inspected by the 'Light Aircraft Association's' approved inspectors and when satisfactory is granted a permit to fly. Aircraft kit no. is #80697

This is a photographic record of my build project and is primarily of use to me and other builders.

Elevators: Both spars (completed)

Both left/right spars are ready for riveting to the rest of the elevator skeletons. The bearing bolts are lightly screwed into the attached platenuts (rivet, but out of view). They need to be adjusted for length and torqued up later in the build process. These will be attached to the HS eventually.
